What caused US President Lincoln to send his Secretary of State to New York in June of 1862?
Despite Union successes in most of the early part of 1862, Lincoln's hope for a quick end to the Southern rebellion was no longer a part of his thinking. He sent Secretary Seward to New York in order for him to encourage another recruitment of 300,000 volunteers for the Union. Lincoln believed this was necessary based on his assessment of the way the war was evolving.
